Optional close button #27

Closed marizmelo closed 2 years ago

marizmelo commented 3 years ago

I would like to suggest a inclusion of an optional close button/icon to be displayed at the top-right corner. The option could be enabled on a settings file or UI.

I am familiar with MacOS and how the app launcher works, there you have the option to close by using Esc or clicking an empty space. I run a quick experiment with some people using lightpad as the main way to navigate their apps... 80% could not close the application... they kept clicking on white space or complaining that there was not "X" button there.

Let me know what you think.

Hi @marizmelo thank you for the contribution to this project, and the metrics do you have collected about the people using Lightpad.

This behavior is wrong, of course... clicking in an empty area Lightpad will be close automatically. An @issue 23 already has been reported. This one is a duplicated. Very soon will release a new version of Lightpad fixing this things.

Regards!
